Love's Loss
Chapter 1 Engagement
It was an early morning that Sunday. Relena was to see Heero for a date at 7. After going out for more than four months they knew it was meant to be. Relena's friends were sure that Heero was to propose to her that day. It was, after all, ineveitable.
Ring. Ring. Relena raced to the phone.
"Hello?" Relena already knew who it was, but out of habit she still said the all common phrase.
"Relena. Are you ready yet? I'll be there in ten minutes," Heero said and hung up.
"Well wasn't that nice. He woke up on the wrong side of the bed today." With that she finished dressing just in time to walk out the door.
"Good morning," Relena said cheerfully.
"'Morning," Heero replied under his breath.
"Is there something the matter, Heero?" Relena asked in worry since he never acted that way.
"Nothing," Heero said and continued to drive silently.
There was certainly something the matter. The question was what? Sure Heero was this distant in the war, but not anymore. It had been about four years since the Mariemaea incident happened.
After spending all day with each other, Heero found a nice restaurant nearby to dine at. It was called the "Narrows". It was a cute little blue building on a island next to a well traveled bridge.
"Heero, is there something on your mind today? You have been acting strangely ever since the morning. Are you feeling alright?" Relena asked Heero after their meal was over.
Heero silently stood up and walked over to where Relena sat. He kneeled down before her and gave her a gentle kiss. Reaching into his pocket, Heero pulled out a little black velvet box and opened it.
"Relena, I was a cold hearted soldier in the wars, and you were the only person able to see through my mask. Would you take my name and ... marry ... me?" Heero gulped in terror and love.
"Heero, I would always say YES!" Relena shouted for joy. Heero was suddenly relieved.
As for the peaceful moment, it was soon shattered.
"We knew you had it in you! Go, Heero!" The boys shouted from a table not far off.
Heero and Relena blushed madly. They paid and exited.
Next chapter is a sad one, beware.
